Every time I saw Chris, he immediately brightened my day. Rather it be a rough day at clinical, or a challenging nursing test, Chris would always greet me first with a fist-bump and reassured me that we were almost done with our degrees. He truly loved nursing, and he loved helping people. God bless his family.
